Pivot@Amazon vs Fire?

Does pivoted@amazon means I got fired? My manager says both are different and you're not fired. Did he just try to console me?

AFAIK, you choose between buyout, appeal or pip.

I chose buyout aka severance pay..does it still mean I got fired?

Don't think so because you can come back after some time. Ask HR.

If you took the severance then you were fired for performance. Call a spade a spade. That's different than being fired for cause (harassment, legal issues, etc).

Good thing is no one really cares if you get pivoted or fired from Amazon and u don’t have to tell ur next company . Take the check and find a new job

Doesn't this come up in Background checks ?

Amazon RJCMPR OP Mar 3, 2019

Nah! All that comes up in bg check is tenure at amazon and designation.
